There was a glimmer of hope in Kassadin's eyes.
But the next second, Azir's words shattered his fantasy: "Unfortunately, her situation is too special. Even Nasus couldn't solve it, and I can't think of a solution now."
The water of life in the Dawn Oasis can heal all things. As long as the injured are still alive, it can bring them back to life and even allow the soul to rebuild the body.
But it cannot heal the scars and corruption brought by the void.
Thousands of years ago, hundreds of divine warriors died in the Void War. Even with the help of the Water of Life, most of the surviving Ascendants were still tortured by the erosion of the Void.
Nasus spent decades secluded in the Great Library, studying this phenomenon, but was unable to find a suitable solution.
Azir was naturally powerless to do anything about it.
"Is that so..."
Kassadin lowered his head in disappointment, and his eyes were full of heartache when he looked at his daughter.
"It's okay, Dad. Now that we've reunited, it doesn't matter whether this skin can be removed or not." Kaisa comforted him. "Besides, Li Lin said he would conduct research to help me, didn't he?"
She turned her head and blinked her watery eyes at Li Lin.
Li Lin, understanding Kassa's intention, immediately said, "Of course, I will do my best."
Kassadin felt his eyes warm up, and all he could say was just one word: "Thank you..."
Azir shook his head slightly, showing no hope for this.
Even Nazuk, once the empire's most outstanding magical technology researcher, was unable to comprehend the secrets of the void.
It is even more unrealistic for an ordinary anthropologist to do this.
"The dangers of the Void are far beyond your imagination. I don't recommend you to study it," Azir warned.
"In Piltover, there is a pool of alchemical biochemical venom that has formed an intelligent life form. Its existence is somewhat similar to the living skin on Kaisa's body. I want to start from this aspect." Li Lin quickly explained his idea.
"If that's the case, it's not bad..."
Azir nodded, and his eyes, with flickering flames, suddenly turned to Sivir, who had kept her head down and remained silent.
Damn it, I've already lowered my sense of existence...
She steeled herself and raised her face to meet Azir's gaze. "Uh, give you water and shade?"
Azir stared at Sivir in silence for a long time, wondering what he was thinking.
After a long moment, Azir slowly spoke, with the solemnity and majesty of an emperor: "Why did you flee the Sun City in the first place?"
Sivir's breathing stopped, and her heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of her chest and throat.
She had forgotten that she had sneaked away from the City of the Sun, and now she ran back foolishly.
If she could travel through time, Sivir would definitely go back to the eve of her entering the gate of the City of the Sun and slap herself hard a few times.
"This is our right to rule, Sivir... Do you think it's shameful to have my blood?"
Azir's voice was hoarse and low, but there was no hint of blame in it.
On the contrary, an inexplicable feeling of loneliness and desolation enveloped the hearts of everyone present, causing a sense of sadness to well up in their hearts.
Sivir had intended to appear tough, but Azir's words instantly shattered her spirit. "I... never thought of it that way."
She shook her head.
For some reason, the voices and smiles of her long-deceased parents emerged in her mind.
"I'm just used to freedom and don't like the feeling of being bound..."
“I have never restricted your freedom,” Azir said. “But now is not the time. There are too many threats I must address.”
The end of the pointed spear and scepter in his hand slammed heavily on the golden floor tiles, making a crisp collision sound.
“You saw it in Vikaura. A traitor… a demigod wanted your life, just to end my bloodline.
"I told you not to leave the Sun City because only here, under the protection of the Sun Disc, will Zeratul dare not invade, and only then can I ensure your safety.
Valley Saddle
"You are my only blood, my only family now. Do you think I would harm you?"
“…” Sivir lowered her eyes, speechless for a moment.
Li Lin, Kassadin and Kaisa remained silent and did not dare to speak up for Sivir.
This is a family affair of the royal family. Azir's trust in them is evident by the fact that he discusses such matters in front of them.
It would be a bit ungrateful to interrupt at this time.
After a long silence, Sivir took a deep breath and said a word she hadn't said since her parents died: "I'm sorry..."
It was not just the shocking mural of the Void War in front of the gate of Azir's Tomb that made her blood boil.
Having experienced so much with Li Lin and Kassadin, and having fought against the Void alongside them twice, Sivir's mentality had already changed unconsciously.
Icathia is just a microcosm of the void's invasion of this world.
If the former god-warriors had not continued to fight against them fearlessly, the entire world would have been swallowed up and become part of nothingness.
And he happened to be the heir of the ascended bloodline...
Why are you running away, Sivir?
Are you afraid of death?
Or is it that he is unwilling to shoulder the responsibility of leading Shurima to glory?
Xiweier couldn't help but ask herself.
Azir saw Sivir's dilemma and knew that she was just having trouble accepting her royal identity for the time being.
